Lead Pastor Announcement

The pastoral search committee and the elders are so pleased to announce that we have a new Lead Pastor! Erik Thien, his wife Emily, and their four boys will soon be packing up in Phoenix and moving to Indianapolis where Erik will assume our Lead Pastor role. Right now, we are planning for Erik to be in the role around October 15. That date will allow them time to take care of housing both in Phoenix and in Indy, to provide the required notice to Emily's existing employer, to complete some commitments they have in Phoenix, and to move across the country.

In accepting our offer, Erik mentioned how he and Emily have enjoyed getting to know us thus far and how they see our church as a place filled with bold faith, conviction, and a commitment to the Gospel. They are very excited to join us in ministry here and lead us into the next season of our church life. We look forward to having more people meet get to know and interact directly with them after they move to Indy.

As more details about the transition firm up, we'll be sure to keep you updated. In the meantime, please join us in thanking God for his direction throughout this entire process.
